ViruRulez Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Interesting. News has now come out that Anonymous Group has DDOSed and hacked sites including FBI, US Govt. Dept. of Justice, MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), Belgian Anti-Piracy Federation, France’s copyright watchdog HADOPI, the US Copyright Office, music firm BMI and the Warner Music Group. It is the largest cyber attack ever by anonymous. http://news.sky.com/home/world-news/article/16152992 sxwW0fNkrUo

DomainK Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Interesting fight between the government and the rebels. Lets see who wins.
deathmonger Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 How about torrents? torrents are difficult as the source file comes from various ppl around the world so there is no single source to cut off.
ViruRulez Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Interesting fight between the government and the rebels. Lets see who wins. The govt. and MPAA etc. will win. A DDOS is not permanent and just a temporary denial of service attack by sending loads of packets to the host server and thereby flooding the stream with packets. It hardly takes a few hours to alleviate the attack with the help of anti-DDOS experts. Both making a DDOS and sustaining it is quite expensive. It is not fruitful either as it is temporary. So, it will only be a temporary attack as all DDOS are. Megaupload and related sites were the only top file sharing sites blatantly supporting copyright infringement and rejecting DMCA notices. So, there must be a strong case against them I suppose. However, I found it a bit weird that the Megaupload head was arrested from New Zealand today itself. I mean how come US federal agencies arrest somebody in New Zealand. Does NZ not have its own law? Interesting. When they tried to pull down TPB a few years earlier they could not do anything as the Netherlands govt. refused to arrest the TPB owner as he was not guilty under their laws. I read that the Megaupload owner was dual citizen of NZ and China. Maybe he should have been inside China. I doubt US govt. would have been able to arrest him inside China as there is hardly any strict copyright laws there. They make all the duplicates of US products. :giggle:
lonestarranger Posted January 22, 2012 Author Posted January 22, 2012 WTH.. uploaded.to now restricts US users. filesonic.com has this banner now : All sharing functionality on FileSonic is now disabled.

chainsmoker1985 Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I am in favor of piracy. I don't see anything bad in that. People rarely goes to cinema halls to watch movies. And all this fuss was all about those people related to movies who just keep whining over that- people don't watch our movies in cinema hall so this piracy should also be stopped. Atleast these sites were usefull for 90% internet users. LONG LIVE PIRACY :tounge_smile:
Stuge Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 How about torrents? Its not easy to combat torrent unless you shut the main site .It all depends on the seeder and seeder can be anyone from any country .It will be really hard to put everyone in jail for seeding files unless ISP finds it, and give a warning or something .

LONG LIVE PIRACY :tounge_smile: Piracy is on the of the reason why MS was able to seed themselves so well in most developing countries .Once people get use to their software they prefer the same for work as well. I use adobe for editing photographs ,and all ,but I don't see myself buying it unless I start making money out of my pictures .Adobe cannot expect people like me to buy software [Adobe CS5] worth US $1,899.I have to save for years to buy lenses and filters .
Stuge Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Megaupload files may be deleted this week http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/30/tech/web/megaupload-data-deleted/?hpt=hp_bn6
Crookbond Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 Megaupload Readies for Comeback, Code 90% Done http://torrentfreak.com/megaupload-readies-for-comeback-code-90-done-120923/ With 50 million visitors per day at its peak, Megaupload was one of the largest websites on the Internet. This quickly changed January this year when the U.S. Government took down the file-hosting service and had several key employees arrested including founder Kim Dotcom. Abruptly, the focus of Megaupload’s team shifted from serving customers to defending itself in a high-profile criminal prosecution. While the criminal case is moving ahead very slowly, Megaupload’s founder does have some progress to report on another front. Dotcom previously announced that he planned to bring Megaupload back to life, and new information suggests that this may happen rather quickly. In an update this weekend he tweets that most of the work on the second incarnation of the site is already done. “Quick update on the new Mega: Code 90% done. Servers on the way. Lawyers, partners and investors are ready,” Dotcom teases. “Be patient it’s coming,” he adds. From the brief progress update it’s clear that the site is on schedule for launch later this year. In addition, it’s interesting to note that despite the ongoing criminal case, partners and investors are happy to be involved. In recent weeks Dotcom has delivered several hints about the new Megaupload, which he says will be bigger and better than the file-hosting service that was taken down. “We are building a massive global network. All non-US hosters will be able to connect servers & bandwidth,” he explained earlier. According to Dotcom we can expect a Megaupload with an even greater range of applications than just file-sharing. While developers of file managers are being encouraged to get in touch for early API access, Dotcom is also calling out to those involved in email and fax tools, VOIP and video apps. It’s clear that Dotcom doesn’t have the slightest urge to throw in the towel. “They abused the wrong guy. I am going to turn this world upside down. Power to the people. Bye bye Echelon. Hello Freedom,” Dotcom added. It will be at least a few more weeks before the new Megaupload appears online, but there are exciting times ahead. MEGA exciting.
